Ch.78Ah, I Want to Be a Hero (2)

“By the way, Janghun, don’t you have something to tell me?”

“…? Me?”

“What are you suddenly talking about?”

Carmilla, now fully recovered, was told she could be discharged tomorrow.

So I was happily making plans to have a meal together after her discharge when this young lady cut in between us with suspicious eyes.

“Are you going to keep pretending not to know?”

“Pretending what?”

“About being Carmilla’s ‘sidekick’! Janghun, I hear you’ve been introducing yourself that way!”

“?!”

“Ah! So that’s what you’re talking about!”

Oh, right.

Come to think of it, I’ve been spreading that ‘lie’ quite a bit lately, haven’t I?

With so many major incidents happening, I’d forgotten about it.

But somehow Miss Hoshino knew about it, and when our eyes met, she looked extremely sensitive with her pupils dilated like a beast’s.

“That rumor… it’s just a rumor, right?”

“Ah, of course…”

“It’s not a rumor.”

As a civilian, I couldn’t freely enter scenes that only heroes had access to.

I just borrowed the name briefly out of curiosity.

I was about to explain it that way to Miss Hoshino to cool down the increasingly heated atmosphere.

But before I could open my mouth, Carmilla affirmed my statement on her own.

*Squeeze*

“!!”

She didn’t stop there and pulled my arm between the ample breasts hidden under her cheongsam.

She was openly linking arms with me, deliberately provoking Miss Hoshino.

“Hehe. You didn’t know, but the discussion is already almost over.”

“The discussion…”

“Is over?”

“Yes! Janghun. When we went on that date in G City, you said you might consider becoming my sidekick after graduating from university!”

“No, I just meant I was only thinking about it…”

“You shouldn’t even think about it!”

This is why you shouldn’t run your mouth carelessly.

Silence is golden.

I could truly understand the meaning of that proverb now.

Because I couldn’t keep quiet and blabbered everywhere, I was now in danger of being torn in half with a 50-50 split.

Unable to listen anymore, Miss Hoshino linked her arm with my other arm that Carmilla wasn’t holding.

She put my left arm between her soft breasts, looking so angry that her fangs were fully visible.

“And G City?! That’s a tourist attraction! Why did you go there with her?”

“I already told you. We went on a ‘date.'”

“Kyaaaak! Hey, Kang Janghun! Is that true?! Did you really go on a date with her without my permission?”

“That’s right. It was so ‘moist,’ it was worth treating him to abalone and eel.”

“W-wh-wha-what?!”

Yes, it was moist.

We went to an aquarium to look for a monster for a week.

And we did eat a lot of abalone and eel.

We had to have our meals in the basement where we saw nothing but fish from morning till night.

If she knew a little about our situation, she would have immediately seen through the hollow statements.

But Miss Hoshino had no way of knowing our circumstances.

“You, you two… how far did you go?”

“Do you want to know? Then choose which experience you want to hear about first, the front or the back.”

“?!!?!?! Y-you did both front and back…?”

“No! It’s a misunderstanding, Miss! Carmilla, stop lying!”

“Ohohohoho!”

Miss Hoshino, who had been on edge earlier, now entered a state of complete resignation upon hearing these false provocations.

Her face soon became pitifully stained with tears and snot.

Meanwhile, Carmilla on the opposite side just cackled as if enjoying the spectacle.

“Janghun, you’re bad! A completely bad man!”

“No, Miss, it’s a misunderstanding…”

“Even when I was in heat, you only allowed me to use my ‘mouth’! But why does she get holes?!”

“…?! W-what? Wait… mouth?”

Had she lost her mind?

Geez, she asked me to keep it a secret because it was embarrassing.

Now she’s spilling everything about what happened during her heat. If I say anything more, it might end up as a dark history.

I carefully removed my arm from Carmilla and then gently rubbed and patted Miss Hoshino’s tearful face with both hands.

But then.

“Hic… sob!”

“?!”

Wait, why are you crying now?

“J-Janghun… you said at the food stall that I was the only one…”

“Uh, what?”

“Weren’t you and Princess Hoshino… just close business associates?!”

“Ah, well…”

Business… relationship, that’s right.

Since I’m employed, it is a business relationship.

Just a business relationship where we happened to get particularly close, and when we became adults, we engaged in a bit of playing with fire.

Isn’t that still a kind of “close business” relationship?

But Carmilla, who was smiling victoriously at Miss Hoshino’s sexual revelation just moments ago, had now become a fellow loser.

“T-that’s right! You must have forced him! Right? He didn’t want to do it, but you gave him money and forced him, right?!”

“Huh? No, it wasn’t forced, but I did actually ‘get paid’…”

“?! Hey, Kang Janghun! Then what does that make our relationship! And you also said it was okay as long as there was no penetration!”

“Well, even if you say that, I honestly barely remember anything from that time.”

How did that playing with fire start in the first place?

Going back to the beginning, it was when Miss Hoshino and I were drinking heavily to celebrate becoming adults.

In a ‘closed space’ within the Okami family, Miss Hoshino kept pouring ‘premium liquor’ worth hundreds of millions per bottle into my mouth.

Of course, I liked alcohol too.

So I kept drinking with enthusiasm.

Then Miss Hoshino put a golden toad between my thighs and started taking off her kimono before I could stop her, and well…

“Ugh… no penetration… ughhhh…”

“Tch! You’re still conscious after drinking that much?”

Squeezing out my last bit of strength, I somehow managed not to cross the ‘final line.’

In conclusion.

“Wait, wasn’t that completely one-sided assault?!”

Well, I don’t particularly mind since we both felt good, but Carmilla, who seems to care a lot, continued.

“That’s sexual assault! And to think an S-rank hero would get a man drunk and seduce him with money! That’s inappropriate!”

“Hey! …Even if I did assault him, I only sucked, so it’s not that bad, right?”

“That’s! …Oh, is that so?”

Meanwhile, what’s with the “is that so?” Hey.

Carmilla. She’s always had a tendency to be persuaded by Miss Hoshino.

Then, as if coming to her senses, she returned with a confident smile.

“Hehe. Anyway, I understand now.”

“Understand what?”

“I think I’ve been approaching this too ‘innocently.’ If the other side has already crossed the line like that, then I don’t need to be afraid anymore.”

“…! You, don’t tell me you’re planning to sneak into Yongchan’s dormitory like I never did?!”

“I’m not that reckless, you know?!”

That’s right, Carmilla.

I don’t care about anything else, but please don’t come into my dorm room uninvited.

I live there with my ‘loyal subordinate’ who wears nothing but a shirt without underwear.

“B-but if Janghun invites me… I’d like to sleep together in bed.”

“Hey! I’ve never done that, so who are you to try sleeping with Janghun! The bed is narrow, you know?!”

“That’s why you should be the one to leave!”

No matter how much they fight, my bed has already been claimed by Siljongi.

And maybe because I hug her to sleep every night.

There’s a strangely comfortable feeling, and lately, I don’t feel like I sleep well unless I sleep with Siljongi.

“Next thing you know, you’ll be saying you want to bathe together in the bathroom!”

“Hmph! Of course! Because we’ve been on a date!”

“I’ve done more than that!”

“If I get you drunk, I could do that much too!”

I’m already sharing the bathroom with Siljongi.

The two of them, now separated from me, had somehow started a catfight, grabbing each other’s hair.

“Die!”

“You die!”

“Struggle all you want! I’ve already marked Janghun’s lower body with my saliva!”

“Then I’ll just cover it with my saliva.”

“What?! Don’t you have any sense of decency?”

“Decency?! A woman who seduced a man with alcohol and money has no right to talk about decency! Besides, Janghun will become my sidekick once he graduates from university!”

“Oh, right. Speaking of sidekick! I should have stopped that first!”

“Who decides that!”

“The owner decides!”

“You can’t even suck without alcohol, you bitch!”

“Have you even tried sucking?!”

*Clang clang clang*

*Bang! Bang!*

*Crack*

Grabbing each other’s hair was relatively tame.

Eventually, the two of them drew their equipment and entered combat mode.

They shot quick sparks at each other, instantly turning the VIP hospital room into a wasteland—these two S-rank heroes.

“Janghun! If you become my sidekick, I’ll take really good care of you, so make sure you join me as my partner. Understand?”

“Shut up! Janghun, don’t follow a woman like her! And if you want to be a sidekick or whatever, I’ll teach you instead! By the way, I’m ranked 11th in S-rank, and Carmilla is only 14th!”

“That’s only because your family background factored into your ranking!”

“Shut up! If you’re jealous, you should have been born with a silver spoon!”

This is driving me crazy.

If this continues, it would be a nuisance to the other patients and doctors in the hospital.

So, to the two ladies fighting over me, claiming “he’s mine” and “he’s mine,” I said:

“By the way, I have something to say about the hero thing.”

“Huh?”

“What?”

I had originally planned to say this carefully in a better atmosphere, but…

Given the situation, to subdue Miss Hoshino and Carmilla with a ‘shock therapy,’ I decided to tell them my next plan right now.

“I’m planning to take the hero exam that’s coming up.”

“…Huh?”

“…What?!”

“So I’ve decided to walk my own independent path, and neither of you needs to help me~.”

So let’s all go our separate ways.
